Chachykan

Chachykan is 47 years old, married, and has four children. Chachykan has been engaged in animal husbandry for a period of 20 years, after having started this business virtually from scratch. Thanks to persistent work, Chachykan currently has two dairy cows and 17 sheep at her farm, and the sale of milk and dairy products amounts to 17,000 som (KGS) per month. Chachykan further cultivates 0.94 hectares of her own and 3.0 hectares of rented land, where she grows melon and cotton.

With an aim to further develop her business, Chachykan turned to the organization "Bai Tushum & Partners" for a loan in the amount of 100,000 som (KGS) for the purchase of sheep and goats and mineral fertilizers. Chachykan plans to invest the income from the loan in further increasing the number of animals.
